Persistent difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or returning to sleep can affect energy, concentration, mood, and confidence about the next night. Helyx Health offers individualized insomnia evaluation and cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, or CBT-I, for patients in Beverly Hills and surrounding communities.
Chronic insomnia generally involves difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep at least three nights per week for at least three months, despite adequate opportunity for sleep, together with distress or daytime impairment. Patients do not need to wait three months to ask for help when symptoms are severe, safety is affected, or another sleep condition may be present.
Anxiety, depression, trauma-related distress, and insomnia commonly occur together. The relationship can work in both directions, and improvement in one concern does not guarantee that the other will resolve. Assessment helps determine whether sleep-focused care, psychotherapy, psychiatry, or coordinated treatment may be appropriate.
CBT-I is a structured treatment that may include a consistent wake-time plan, strategies that strengthen the association between bed and sleep, careful adjustment of time in bed, and work with sleep-related thoughts and behaviors. It is more comprehensive than general sleep-hygiene advice and should be tailored to health history, safety, and goals.
Discuss loud snoring, gasping, witnessed breathing pauses, marked daytime sleepiness, unusual nighttime behaviors, or uncomfortable leg sensations with the clinician. Helyx’s home sleep test evaluates possible obstructive sleep apnea only. It does not diagnose insomnia, narcolepsy, parasomnias, or circadian conditions.
